The story of a picture

This picture is from my third birthday, I think, and I was very young so I don't remember who took it. It's a very important photo for me, because I appear in the arms of my uncle Claudio, who is my godfather too. He died of cancer eleven years ago, and when I look at his big smile in this picture I feel very nostalgic; his joy is very much missed in the family.
He was the youngest of the nine brothers and his birthday was recently. To remember that, I uploaded this photo to Facebook, and I was very happy to see the signs of affection that showed my family. It's nice to know that my uncle Claudio stills present, and to see how his children have him present too, and this picture helps me keep him present every day. That's why is so special to me.
